Questions about Denholm
Is Denholm too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Denholm are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Denholm?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Common problems we fix in Denholm
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you’re responsible for a building such as Minto Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Denholm, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

What affects the price in Denholm
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
